Chapter 391: Dark Lights and Long River (Thirteen)
Jiang Ci’s eyes were bloodshot. “I did lie to you, but for so many years, do you think I wasn’t in pain watching you and Lu Zhinian fighting? I was in pain too. My pain was no less than yours!”

When he said this, he sounded like an innocent victim, as if he was the one with pure innocent hands in all this.

Song Nian really didn’t understand how he could be so self-righteous.

“Jiang Ci, you make me feel sick. You are no longer the Jiang Ci you once were. Look in the mirror and see what you have become now.” Song Nian’s voice was cold. She closed her eyes and stopped looking at Jiang Ci. “Lu Zhinian will be here soon. If I lose even a hair on your car, all your hard work over the years will be in vain.”

Jiang Ci suddenly looked at Song Nian. He gritted his teeth and smiled fiercely, “Are you threatening me? Song Nian, what right do you have to threaten me!”

“I know that you won’t give up everything you’ve worked so hard for, and you’ll calm down.” Song Nian still closed her eyes, and she said, “Jiang Ci, don’t let me think of you in the future with nothing but unbearable things, okay?”

Jiang Ci’s anger disappeared in an instant.

He instantly lost all his strength and suddenly lay down on the car seat with his eyes blank. He said, “Song Nian, how did you fall in love with him? Why?”

“Maybe it’s very early?” Song Nian said calmly: “Jiang Ci, it’s easy for someone like me to fall in love with Lu Zhinian.”

“What kind of person are you?”

“I’m used to seeing cunning people in the gutter. Everyone wants to take advantage of me.” Song Nian said softly, “Except for Lu Zhinian, no one treats me as a human being. When I said I liked you, we planned to leave together and live a new life. In fact, to a large extent, it was because I knew that my feelings for Lu Zhinian were delusional.”

Jiang Ci was startled, his expression cracked, and he spoke slowly and with difficulty, “So, for all these years, you just felt that Lu Zhinian killed me, and you were still brooding over my death, that’s why you were entangled with him like this? If these things hadn’t happened, would you love him?”

Song Nian said yes, and became calmer.

Jiang Ci’s eyes were red, and his voice was hoarse, “Song Nian, I treat you as someone I really loved.”

“That only shows that you are no better than this towards the person you like.” Song Nian’s voice was cold and hard. She turned her head and looked at the desolate scenery outside the window, her eyelashes fluttering slowly, “Jiang Ci, you don’t know how to love.”

“I don’t know how to love, so can Lu Zhinian love? He has kept you by his side for so many years, is that love?” Jiang Ci looked at Song Nian’s back in despair, and said, “Niannian, can you look back at me?”

Song Nian didn’t look back. She gently stroked her belly and smiled: “I’m waiting for my husband to take me home. Jiang Ci, from now on, don’t let me see you.”

The remaining light in Jiang Ci’s eyes completely extinguished. He suddenly sneered and said with a resolute attitude, “Do you think Lu Zhinian really loves you?”

Song Nian didn’t respond.

Jiang Ci gritted his teeth unwillingly and said, “Song Nian, if Lu Zhinian really loved you, he wouldn’t have kept it from you. You’re not pregnant at all!”

Song Nian frowned. This time she finally reacted. She turned around again and looked at him: “You are talking nonsense.”

“I’m not talking nonsense. You’re not pregnant. There’s nothing in your belly. You don’t have a child, and you won’t have one in the future.”

Jiang Ci smiled, tears stinging his eyes. He said, “Niannian, why do you think your parents abandoned you? Your body is not normal at all!”

Song Nian’s mind went blank. Just as she was about to ask something, the door was suddenly and violently opened by someone from the outside.

Song Nian suddenly turned his head and saw Lu Zhinian in a suit with blood on his right hand. He stretched out his left hand towards her and said softly, “Niannian, let’s go home.” The sunlight outside was a little dazzling, and the white snow reflected the coldness under the sunlight.

Song Nian’s body also felt cold. She looked at Lu Zhinian without moving.

Lu Zhinian’s eyes softened, he squatted down and held her hand: “Niannian, no matter what you heard, let’s go home and talk about it, okay?”

Jiang Ci sat behind Song Nian, looking at her back with a complicated expression.

He frowned for a long time before he said in a hoarse voice, “Song Nian, I won’t lie to you. If you and Lu Zhinian leave, nothing will happen. The Lu family won’t want a wife who can’t have children.”

Lu Zhinian raised his eyes silently and looked at Jiang Ci.

He finally understood why Song Nian was mentally abnormal.

Lu Zhinian’s expression turned cold. She looked at Jiang Ci with a strong sense of hostility between her eyebrows. “Jiang Ci, I warn you, if you dare to say this to Song Nian again, I will not let you go.”

Jiang Ci chuckled, his eyes full of sarcasm. He said sarcastically, “You won’t let me go? Lu Zhinian, of course I know you are cruel and ruthless. Didn’t you let my father go back then? How can I expect you to show mercy to me?”

Song Nian lowered his eyes, listening to the quarrel between the two, feeling exhausted both physically and mentally.

Lu Zhinian wanted to say something, but looking at Song Nian’s pale face, he finally held her with a worried look on his face, without saying a word.

Song Nian looked at Lu Zhinian’s hand clasped tightly on her arm. Her eyelashes trembled and her voice became tense. “Lu Zhinian, let’s go home.”

Lu Zhinian was stunned, and his tense expression relaxed slightly. He followed Song Nian’s words and helped her walk towards the stretched commercial vehicle beside him.

Inside the car, Lu Zhinian carefully checked Song Nian’s body, and after confirming that there were no external injuries, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

He hugged her, and in an almost nervous tone, his worry was too strong, he said: “Nian Nian, don’t let Jiang Ci get close to you again.”

Song Nian was confused, her mind was full of what Jiang Ci had just said to her.

Song Nian couldn’t help but care. She spoke with difficulty and said, “Lu Zhinian, I want to get checked.”

“Okay, I’ll let the doctor check you out.” Lu Zhinian said softly, “Niannian, don’t listen to his nonsense. You are in good health and there is nothing wrong with you.”

Song Nian finally raised her eyes and looked at Lu Zhinian. “For so many years, there has never been any precautions between us. Lu Zhinian, I should have been pregnant a long time ago, right?”

Lu Zhinian fell silent for a moment. He looked at Song Nian’s anxious eyes and couldn’t tell a lie. He could only try to comfort her, “It’s just a matter of time. You are still young. We are not in a hurry to have children.”

“Is it because I am not in a hurry, or because…” Song Nian took a deep breath, despair spreading in her eyes, “I really can’t have a child.”

Lu Zhinian had no way to answer Song Nian, he could only look at her for a long time. In the face of Song Nian’s stubborn gaze, he gave in and hugged her in his arms.
